This is the best recipe for Jiffy corn pudding casserole & it is so easy. It's silky smooth and satisfies the summer craving for sweet corn on the cob any time of year. Inspired by my grandmother's traditional corn pudding, this canned corn and Jiffy cornbread casserole is a quick version of a Southern classic.

This side dish casserole is both sweet and spicy with a combination of green chiles & canned sweet corn. It is a version of Paula Deen's corn casserole. I simply swap out the cheese for some chiles & the flavor just explodes!

It is soft, moist, spicy, and similar to Chevy's corn pudding if you ever have had it. It is the perfect side for soups, salads, BBQ meats, and my Slow Cooker Beef & Bacon Chili.

Corn Casserole Can be Made Ahead of Time

This easy recipe can be assembled ahead of time to bake later. You can also bake this corn pudding recipe and warm it up later. It is also one of my family's favorites. They eat seconds and are happy to eat leftovers.

To make a large batch, you can easily double this recipe. I recommend baking it in two casserole dishes versus a single large one. That will ensure it bakes through the center properly.

HINT: I like to use this Pyrex casserole dish which is 11x7x1.5". See the section below on how this trick saves baking time!

This makes a large amount. You will want to prepare a 11x7x1.5" baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Next, pour the creamed corn mixture into the baking dish. Spread it out so it is even. It should fill the dish up almost to the top.

What Size Pan to Use?

I like to use a shallow dish when baking corn casserole versus a deep dish. It allows the batter to spread out more which means it cooks faster in the oven. This saves about 15 minutes of cooking time. Plus it is easier to cut squares and serve compared to scooping it out of a deep-dish pan.

The time and temperature in the recipe card is for an 11x7x1.5" dish. You can also use a 9x13 baking dish, which should be done baking in 40 minutes.

FAQ

Here are answers to some common questions. I hope you find what you need but if not, you are always welcome to send me a comment and I will get back to you.

Can you make corn casserole in the CrockPot?

There are recipes out there for making a similar recipe in a slow cooker. This is not that type of recipe. This recipe is baked in the oven. I have not tested these ingredients in any other cooking method.

What if I don't have creamed corn?

If you don't have creamed corn, you can use a substitute and still make corn casserole. I suggest using regular canned corn & alter it a bit.

Only drain half the liquid from the canned corn. Then add the liquid and ½ the corn to a blender or food processor and pulse quickly for a few seconds. This will make a nice creamy corn mixture & stir it with the remaining corn pieces and add into the recipe as directed.
